Poor sleep camping

[Will_m]

I’ve narrowed my problem down to a mummy bag I think. Sleep terrible when camping mainly from either super light sleep or waking up every hour or two.

Has anybody else dealt with this and what did you do? Quilts?

Cot, good pad, good bag/quilt, pillow = pretty comfortable

You might elaborate on what you're using and what the problem is.

I agree with the guy above, you need to elaborate.

For me its comfort. To sleep decent/good I need a wall tent, wood stove, cot, pad, roomy sleeping bag and my from home pillow. Good food and a few drinks help too. No way I'd even consider sleeping without all those things, unless it was an emergency. Probably not the answer you were looking for.....

My bag is an REI Magma mummy and I have two pads. For backpacking I use a neo air and truck camping I used the mondo king. The latter is huge but I don’t seem to have an issue with either. I probably need to try a different pillow but I’ve used inflatables and one from home.

I’m thinking it’s the mummy because I’m a side sleeper and I move around a good bit in my sleep (I think). I can barely move in the thing.

Z quill is my go too. I don’t sleep well at home so camping or anything away from home I need a little help.

Zenbivy is far more comfortable than any quilt or sleeping bag. And a fillow pillow.

My man. This looks incredible. Much appreciated!

^^^This!

I can't sleep for nothing in a mummy bag, I'm a side sleeper and toss and turn throughout the night.

I've only got 1 night with my Zenbivy set up, but I slept just as good in it as I do in my own bed. I toss and turned throughout the night without getting all tangled up in the bag.

I have found a few different things that mess up my sleep when camping. The two main ones are inflatable pads and noise from the tent moving. Even in a nice base camp I toss and turn a lot with an inflatable pad. Now I use a foam pad or mattress. I also avoid tents that are prone to flex/flap (tight free standing).

I'm interested, any model you recomend?

A wide pad made a huge difference for me. I still go mummy bags but try to get the larger cut ones, side sleeper as well.

Maybe try a bigger bag...
Sleep in it at home sometimes also and get used to it.
